New Electronics - AI-powered cloud-connected EV battery management system

NXP is using Electra Vehicles' EVE-Ai 360 Adaptive Controls technology to use digital twin models in the cloud to predict and control the physical BMS in real time, to improve battery performance, battery state of health of up to 12% and enable multiple new applications, such as EV fleet management. Batteries remain the costliest element in an electric vehicle (EV), and AI-powered digital twin cloud services have the potential to improve estimations of the battery's state of health (SOH) and state of charge (SOC) to deliver improved efficiency, lifetime and cost. Battery digital twins adapt to ongoing changes in battery health due to operating conditions and provide updated figures back to the BMS for continuously improving control decisions. Carmakers can use the technology to provide driver insights, such as range and speed recommendations. In addition, adaptive battery control can improve the battery's performance and safely extend its lifespan, reducing warranty costs for the carmaker.
